    It could happen, but for now, I don't think many are going to lose sleep over the possibilities. I know my new Freightliner has a built in cellular phone data comm system that allows technicians to "dial in" and perform diagnostics and parameter changes. But for now, I'm not worried about it. I'm one in a many thousands. Pretty good odds. I have about the same odds of being hit be a meteorite next week. Besides ... They may remove my speed limit parameter. That's a good thing.

    And as far as my eLogs? Yes, they are stored continually to "the cloud" and anyone could hack in and make all my time the last 5 days show as "Drive Time" and push the changes back to my truck. But what would anyone gain by doing that? I'm not worried about it. And if it happens? I think it will be good for a number of laughs at the bar later that week.

    I used to break into trucks and redo their loose leaf logs to show they've been driving 1,400 miles a day.
